[jeepin916]

I was going to do the same thing before I bought mine. Just search around the internet, there's lots of different kinds of plans you can find. I've seen plans that use ready rod for the post of the hinge and I've seen other plans that use bearings. The carrier that I bought uses a single round post attached to the bumper and the swing out portion of the carrier just slips on over it with a bolt on top.

I can't stress the importance of "searching" on pirate. If you don't you'll get flamed to pieces. :roll:

Hey, try the hinges off of an old, big satilite dish. Most are fairly heavy guage steel and they are greasable. Hell, you can probably find someone who just wants you to take it down and haul it a way. Make the mounting hinge into the tire carrier and the dish into a gazeebo for your wife.

If you are looking for a hinge, I found sleeoffroad to be the cheapest next to machining a trailer spindle.
